He still is a big part of our community here at the Alembic Club. Yesterday I received a kind email from Paul's friend David that I would like to pass along: Hi all friends of Paul .... yes, indeed it's already one year ago that Paul left us all into another Music World - hopefully the one which cares of us all !!!! Many thanks of you all to remember him in Memorial Remembrance and Tribute of the Alembic Guitar. Keep the circle warm .... susan Moderator Username: susan Post Number: 98 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, February 03, 2010 - 6:55 pm:    Yes, Paul is missed by all who knew him. Our Alembic Family was blessed to have him. He was a kind and gentle soul. We'll raise a glass of Zinfandel in his memory tonight. adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 2412 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 04, 2010 - 2:25 am:    To Paul! lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 4306 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Thursday, February 04, 2010 - 7:17 am:    I'll bang a bottle on the table in Paul's memory.

He reminds me of a different time. I was a first time father and first time Alembic owner...new to both and the club as well. He embodied everything this place was about - comradery, compassion and good natured ribbing. It was somewhere to come for information and to share experiences and stories with people with whom you had a common bond - a love for music and Alembics. He may have had his stockings always at the ready but he never got his knickers in a twist. He is missed... lembic76450 Intermediate Member Username: lembic76450 Post Number: 197 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 04, 2010 - 5:18 pm:    It is only a cup of tea, but, I raise it to you my friend....... davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 9108 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 04, 2010 - 5:49 pm:    Hi Paul; thinking of you with our friends. keavin Senior Member Username: keavin Post Number: 1661 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 04, 2010 - 5:54 pm:    I chugged down a 40oz of Old English 800 malt liquor for my man! pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 426 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Thursday, February 04, 2010 - 7:20 pm:    A day late - but BBT was raised in honor and respect, followed shortly by a second!

To Paul bassplayer Junior Username: bassplayer Post Number: 31 Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Friday, April 30, 2010 - 9:15 am:    A bit TOO late i'm afraid, but i raised a glass as well for Paul (aka "Palembic"). I DO KNOW that i'm not much of a poster here, but i DO realize that Paul was a member who was VERY popular here (and elsewhere, i'm sure!). God bless you, Paul!! Grtz, Bassplayer adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 2472 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, April 30, 2010 - 2:28 pm:    Just yesterday, I had a glass of Lindemans kriek beer - cherry scented lambiek - not sure about the exact relation between "lambiek" and "alembic", but there must be something. (Also, lambiek is one of the beers that can improve with age.) I seem to remember Paul was related to the brewery family. Very nice, artisanal beer - tasted like real cherries - sweet and sour. To life, to Paul! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 9267 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, May 01, 2010 - 6:08 pm:    Hi Paul; thinking of you this evening. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 9397 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, June 14, 2010 - 4:48 pm:    Happy Birthday Paul! I just got a Skype message that it's your birthday. It's just turned June 15 over on your side of the Atlantic, and I guess your account is still active. It was a bit of a surprise at first, but then I guess it's just like you to pull something like that! So happy birthday my friend. You continue to be an influence and inspiration to so many of us here at the club; and we thank you for that. Cheers! jcdlc72 Member Username: jcdlc72 Post Number: 53 Registered: 11-2009 Posted on Monday, June 14, 2010 - 4:55 pm:    Happy Birthday indeed!!.

Of course, most of it I am compelled to keep to myself! Hope the family is doing well, and that Broomstick and Bonnie are getting plenty of love..
